Welcome to the funny pages

For those of us too lazy to open a newspaper, you can get your dose
of the funny papers online. Many of the major syndicated comics are
available from their syndicated hosts.
You can find Baby Blues, Hagar the Horrible,
Rex Morgan MD and Blondie to name a few on the
King Features
site. Another large syndicate site is
United Media
who bring you
Dilbert,
Peanuts,
Garfield and more.

Strips you won't find in your local news paper include:

Torg the windows geek, his pistol packing rabbit named bun-bun, and
Riff, a technogeek with one BFG are good for a few laughs at
Sluggy Freelance.

Unix geeks may prefer the
User Friendly comic
strip full of bearded beos and Linux geeks.

Favorite authors

I have always enjoyed a good novel. I tend to read science fiction
over any other type of fiction. My favorite author is Robert Heinlein,
followed by Asimov then Jordan.

Robert Heinlein

I started reading Heinlein as a youth in the early 1970's. His early
juvenile fiction is considered by many to be his best work.
His work from the 1940's up to the end of 1959 include such favorites as
Rocket Ship Galileo,
Space Cadet,
Red Planet,
Farmers in the Sky,
Between Planets,
The Rolling Stones,
Starman Jones,
Star Beast,
Tunnel in the Sky,
Time for the Stars,
Citizen of the Galaxy,
Have Space Suit -- Will Travel
and Starship Troopers
